Akugbe Iyamu: We Must Be Prepared For Severe Droughts, Hunger in 2025

Looking ahead to 2025, Iyamu warned that drought would be the top environmental concern, with potentially devastating consequences similar to Somalia’s drought, which resulted in 43,000 deaths.

He stated, “We have to be ready for drought … The El Nina this time around is not going to be present but it is going to be visible between November and February and when that finishes, it is going to come with heat. The hunger we are seeing now, we have to be prepared three times over to be able to deal with it.”
